This Web site is your resource for details on USDA’s phased transition to the LincPass
– the new employee and contractor identification card. This effort is part of the entire
Federal Government’s move toward compliance with the President’s Homeland Security Presidential
Directive 12 (the Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors), commonly
known as HSPD-12. If this is your first time learning about the LincPass and HSPD-12, please
go to “About HSPD-12” in the navigation bar above for a brief introduction and overview of the program.
